Enter your state and see how it is doing re: the virus in real time [View all]
For example, Alabama growth rate:
On average, each person in Alabama with COVID is infecting 1.12 other people. Because this number is only slightly above 1.0, it means that COVID is growing, but slowly.
Positive test rate=5.5%
Indicates testing is not widespread
ICU headroom used=
Alabama has 1,553 ICU Beds. Normally, 465 are unoccupied. We estimate there are currently 121 COVID cases in the ICU, or 26% of typically free beds. This suggests there is likely enough capacity to absorb a wave of new COVID infections.[/div
